Saturday's game against Wisconsin is not only a chance for Northwestern to prove that last week's win over Penn State wasn't an aberration, but also an opportunity to score an important conference victory on a day when the Big Ten West's purported top team, Nebraska, is probably going to lose at Michigan State. In the space of two weeks, we could go from openly debating whether the Wildcats are one of the worst teams in the FBS to speaking optimistically about their chances of competing for a league title.
